If a non-taxpayers house caught on fire, the fire department wouldn't put out the fire, it would just stand by to make sure it didn't spread to taxpayers homes.
Of course this means that non-taxpayers wouldn't be able to get a mortgage, because they couldn't get Fire insurance.

I like this scenario only if gov't allowed other companies to compete in the services you mention.
I would much rather have private enterprise provide these important services to me than gov't. And I have no problem with not reveiving any of the gov't benefits that taxpayers recieve.
So, if you are trying to make me out to be some sort of hypocrite, or a mooch, you have failed.
